Potato Roti (Allo Paratha)


2 large potatoes
1 - 2 C flour, plus extra for dusting

1 green chilli sliced small
1/2 t turmeric
1/2 t garam masala
2 T vegetable oil
Warm water as required
Salt and pepper, taste


Boil potatoes till tender, allow to cool a little, then grate.

Mix the flour and spices in a large bowl. Season. Mix in the grated potatoes. You should have a semi-firm dough that does not stick to your fingers so add oil and enough warm water to achieve this. 


Divide the dough into 10-12 balls with lightly oiled, clean hands. Dust the bench or board with flour and roll each ball into a thin 6" circle.

Heat frypan over medium-high heat and cook the breads until they are speckled with golden dots on each side. This should take about a minute per side.

Remove from heat, brush with butter and serve.

Note: you can amend the spice blend to suit your tastes and you could also include ginger, cumin, garlic, onion, mint, fenugreek or whatever else tickles your fancy.
